Can cosmopolitan replace the whole llvm toolchain required by GraalVM’s native-image? Currently cross building with native-image is a pain, especially compared to golang. (Or resource intensive as you need to compile it on each platform/architecture you want.)

It’s probably not the best form to abstract away the OS-distinctions, as every abstraction will hide important details from the underlying OS. E.g. certain JDK native methods could be more efficiently done for, say, windows, then through a libc-like abstraction library.
